Abstract

A method and system may receive a communication message and determine a text title to associate with the communication message. The text title associated with the communication message may be displayed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a communication message at a mobile device having a primary display and a secondary display, the primary and secondary displays comprising separate displays;

determining whether the communication message is a voice message, an e-mail message or a text message;

using one or more words from the voice message as text for a text title when the communication message is a voice message;

using one or more words from the e-mail message as text for a text title when the communication message is an e-mail message;

using one or more words from the text message as text for a text title when the communication message is a text message; and

displaying the text title associated with the communication message on the secondary display, the secondary display including a prism arranged to create an illusion that the text title is floating in a middle of the prism and the prism is rounded toward a front face of a device to enable a user to read a side display screen when the device is lying flat on a back side of the device.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising:

receiving one or more spoken words for the text title when the communication message is a voice message; and

using a speech-to-text program to convert the one or more received words into text.

3. The method of claim 1, comprising:

receiving one or more written words for the text title when the communication message is an e-mail message or a text message.

4. The method of claim 1, comprising:

using one or more words from the e-mail message to create text for the text title via one or more of a summary program, a word frequency count program and a semantic reasoning program when the communication message is an e-mail message.

5. The method of claim 1, comprising:

determining that the communication message is a text message;

creating a text title with denoted text from the text message when the text message has text denoted for the text title; and

creating a text title with a portion of the text message when the text message does not have text denoted for the text title.

6. The method of claim 1, comprising:

determining that the communication message is an e-mail message;

creating a text title with denoted text when the e-mail has denoted text for the text title; and

creating a text title using a subject line of the e-mail as the text title when the e-mail does not have text denoted for the text title.

7. The method of claim 1, the text in the text title comprising less than a certain maximum number of characters.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

a housing comprising a front face and a back side;

a primary display;

a secondary display comprising a prism arranged to create an illusion that a text title is floating in a middle of the prism and the prism is rounded toward the front face of the housing to enable a user to read a side display screen when the apparatus is lying flat on the back side, the primary and secondary displays comprising separate displays; and

processing circuitry coupled with the primary display and the secondary display, the processing circuitry to;

receive a communication message,

determine whether the communication message is a voice message, an e-mail message or a text message,

use one or more words from the voice message as text for the text title when the communication message is a voice message,

use one or more words from the e-mail message as text for the text title when the communication message is an e-mail message,

use one or more words from the text message as text for the text title when the communication message is a text message, and

display the text title associated with the communication message on the secondary display.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, the processing circuitry to receive one or more spoken words for the text title when the communication message is a voice message and to convert the one or more received words into text.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, the processing circuitry to receive one or more written words for the text title when the communication message is an e-mail message or a text message.

11. The apparatus of claim 8, the processing circuitry to use one or more words from the e-mail message to create text for the text title via one or more of a summary program, a word frequency count program and a semantic reasoning program when the communication message is an e-mail message.

12. The apparatus of claim 8, the processing circuitry to determine that the communication message is a text message create a text title with denoted text from the text message when the text message has text denoted for the text title, and create a text title with a portion of the text message when the text message does not have text denoted for the text title.

13. The apparatus of claim 8, the processing circuitry to determine that the communication message is an e-mail message, create a text title with denoted text when the e-mail has denoted text for the text title, and create a text title using a subject line of the e-mail as the text title when the e-mail does not have text denoted for the text title.

14. The apparatus of claim 8, the text in the text title comprising less than a certain maximum number of characters.

15. An article comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed enable a system to:

receive a communication message at a mobile device having a primary display and a secondary display, the primary and secondary displays comprising separate displays;

determine whether the communication message is a voice message, an e-mail message or a text message;

use one or more words from the voice message as text for a text title when the communication message is a voice message;

use one or more words from the e-mail message as text for a text title when the communication message is an e-mail message;

use one or more words from the text message as text for a text title when the communication message is a text message; and

display the text title associated with the communication message on the secondary display, the secondary display including a prism arranged to create an illusion that the text title is floating in a middle of the prism and the prism is rounded toward a front face of a device to enable a user to read a side display screen when the device is lying flat on a back side of the device.

16. The article of claim 15 comprising instructions that when executed enable a system to:

receive one or more spoken words for the text title when the communication message is a voice message; and

use a speech-to-text program to convert the one or more received words into text.

17. The article of claim 15 comprising instructions that when executed enable a system to receive one or more written words for the text title when the communication message is an e-mail message or a text message.

18. The article of claim 15 comprising instructions that when executed enable a system to use one or more words from the e-mail message to create text for the text title via one or more of a summary program, a word frequency count program and a semantic reasoning program when the communication message is an e-mail message.

19. The article of claim 15 comprising instructions that when executed enable a system to:

determine that the communication message is a text message;

create a text title with denoted text from the text message when the text message has text denoted for the text title; and

create a text title with a portion of the text message when the text message does not have text denoted for the text title.

20. The article of claim 15 comprising instructions that when executed enable a system to

determine that the communication message is an e-mail message;

create a text title with denoted text when the e-mail has denoted text for the text title; and

create a text title using a subject line of the e-mail as the text title when the e-mail does not have text denoted for the text title.
